How to choose the right power air compressor for fiber cutting machine

Selection and application of air compressor for laser cutting machine using compressed air as auxiliary gas

The size and stability of the gas pressure will directly affect the cutting quality of the metal laser cutting machine. The selection of the size of the air compressor is mainly determined according to the auxiliary gas pressure and nozzle specifications required by the laser cutting head of the fiber laser cutting machine. #GongxingLasercompany obtained the data based on rich cutting experience and accurate measuring instruments. We can calculate the appropriate size and power of the air compressor based on the data.

According to the flow rate provided by the air compressor, combined with the size of the nozzle, it is possible to calculate how many cutting machines the air compressor can provide.

For example, we have a 15kw screw air compressor for low power (3000W and below) with a flow rate of 1.5m3/min (air compressor technical parameters). The customer cuts 4mm stainless steel, and the corresponding nozzle is 3.0mm. The gas flow rate of the 3.0mm nozzle is 1.1m3/min. The 15kw air compressor can only be used by one cutting machine.

Remarks: The air compressor is screw type, the compressed air pressure is 1.6Mpa, and the gas flow unit is m3/min (cubic/per minute). The air compressor flow must be greater than the air flow used by the cutting machine.For more knowledge, please contact us at www.gonxinglaser.com email address:[email protected]
